The world's largest diamond mine~~

This diamond mine in eastern Siberia (Mirny) is so deep that the surrounding "air zone" is closed for helicopters after a few accidents in which they were "sucked in" by downward air flow.









The red arrow in this last picture is pointing at a 22o ton rockhauling truck which is over 20 ft. tall.
